TCQ&A: Meghan Farrell
"At Whole Foods, a man was blocking the English muffins," says the jewelry designer and DJ. "I politely asked him to move, and he was super funny and started teasing me about it. I realized after the fact that the man was Jay-Z and I'm pretty sure he was talking to Helena Christensen." / 1 comment
